👮 U.S. requests detention for defendant accused of withholding Bitfinex funds and found a ‘Master US Workbook’ detailing transactions

The U.S. Attorney's Office has requested detention and issued a flight risk notice for Reginald Fowler, a defendant accused of withholding Crypto Capital's Bitifinex funds. The USAO alleges Fowler was committing bank fraud and operating an unlicensed money transmitting business which carries a mandatory 30-year sentence. A flight risk warning was issued, as the USAO says Fowler has the means to live outside the U.S. indefinity with over 60 foreign and domestic bank accounts totaling $345 million as of January. In documents procured by The Block, the USAO says it found a document entitled "Master US Workbook" in Fowler's email, which details his financial exchanges back to the beginning of the year.
